Book Summary:
Would you take a top-secret job without knowing the details first? Frequently, that’s how life goes – you only learn the details of a top-secret job once you’ve signed all the paperwork. Thus, before she knew it, our leading lady…
Apparently the youth on TikTok are getting into seasonal color analysis and Kibbe types? On the one hand I’m excited for more people to be getting into one of my weird interests that I’ve been obsessively looking into since, like, 2019, but on the other hand it feels weird to have so many new and oftentimes very young people flooding the spaces that were previously very niche and cozy!

A powerful and sweeping historical novel of love, loss, and hope, set against Australia’s vast sugarcane fields in the turbulent days after World War II.
1948: Change has come to every corner of the globe—and Rosie Stanton, returning home to northern Queensland after serving the war effort in Brisbane, plans to rescue her family’s foundering sugarcane farm with her unstoppable can-do spirit. Coming up against her father’s old-world views, a farm worker undermining her success, and constant reminders of Rosie’s brothers lost in the war, Rosie realizes she wants more from life and love—but at what cost?
Italian immigrant Tomas Conti arrives at a neighboring farm, and sparks fly as Rosie draws close to this enigmatic newcomer. When an enemy appears with evidence of Tomas’s shocking past, long-held wartime hatreds rekindle . . . and an astounding family secret sets Rosie’s world ablaze. At the dawn of a new era, Rosie must make her own destiny amid the ashes of yesterday—by following her heart.
